John 14:7
“If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

We all have wrestled with the concept of “God.” Who is our Creator? This is all in the realm of mystery…so beware of people who have it all figured out! We see how people tried to get a handle on God all throughout the Old Testament. God seemed somewhat vindictive and harsh. This is because they were mirroring their own vindictiveness and harshness on God! Then we have Jesus telling his followers that you can know God…if you know Him. Is Jesus vindictive and harsh? No. Is Jesus arrogant, critical, judgmental and condemning? No. Jesus is loving, merciful, forgiving and compassionate. He reaches out and spends time with those who are “sinners.” The only ones Jesus does criticize are the Pharisees…the religious leaders who are always holding people to the letter of the law. If you are a sinner (and who isn’t!) then Jesus wants to be with you. That is Who God Is. This is Good News!
